Ski patrol was performing hazard mitigation when the avalanche came down toward the High Five Express area at around 10:15 a.m., a tweet said.
“All rescue measures are in place and the mountain is currently closed,” the message said. “At this time, there are no confirmed missing people.”
Three people who were partially buried in the avalanche were able to free themselves, according to Mammoth Mountains staff.  Lift operations have been suspended for the rest of the day to allow crew “to focus full efforts on the site.”
Those who want to report any missing individuals could call 760-934-0611.
